Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kentucky

Changing a deed

During a time in my grandfather's life when he was not of stable mind (his wife passed and shortly thereafter he had a stroke) his daughter had a deed drawn up that she received his property that he has now at his time of death. In the deed she described that she had paid him $1 and that made it binding. He wants to sign the property to me now before he passes, because he doesn't want her to take posession of the property when he dies. I am currently living on the property and I need some legal advise.

Re: Changing a deed

Without reading the deed or having other relevant facts, I cannot advise you fully. Apparently, your Grandfather reserved a life estate and that is the only interest that he can convey and that would only be mearsured by his life and would end upon his death. He would have to bring suit against the daughter to set the deed aside. The only real advise that you can receive on this is from a face to face consultation with an attorney. This conultation might even be free or at a reasonable cost.
